Ho Maria Maria
She reminds me of
a west side story
Growing up in
Spanish Harlem
She's living the life
just like a movie star
Ho Maria Maria
She fell in love
in East L.A.
To the sounds
of the guitar,
yeah, yeah
Played by
Carlos Santana
Stop the looting,
stop the shooting
Pick pocking
on the corner
See as the rich
is getting richer
The poor is
getting poorer
Se mira Maria
on the corner
Thinking of ways
to make it better
In my mailbox there's
an eviction letter
Somebody just said
see you later
Maria Maria
She reminds me of
a west side story
Growing up in
Spanish Harlem
She's living the life
just like a movie star
Ho Maria Maria
She fell in love
in East L.A.
To the sounds
of the guitar,
yeah, yeah
Played by
Carlos Santana
I said a la favella
los colores
The streets are
getting hotter
There is no water
to put out the fire
Mi canto
la esperanza
Se mira Maria
on the corner
Thinking of ways
to make it better
Then I looked
up in the sky
Hoping of days
of paradise....
Maria you know
you're my lover
When the wind blows
I can feel you
Through the weather
And even though we
are apart
I still feel that we
are together
Maria yeah
She reminds me of
a west side story
Growing up in
Spanish Harlem
She's living the life
just like a movie star
Ho Maria Maria
She fell in love
in East L.A.
To the sounds
of the guitar
Played by
